Index card signed in black fountain pen by Walter Johnson. PSA has encapsulated the card and graded the signature MINT 9. This card was obtained by our consignor's father in the early 1930s and is part of a much larger autograph collection featured in this auction. Our consignor's father was a big baseball fan and his hobby during his childhood was collecting autographs. Like most autograph collectors at the time, his main method was to write each player and enclose an index card or hand-drawn card to be signed and returned. As we can see by the size of the collection, most players were more than happy to oblige. All the items from the collection are featured in this sale, including high-grade signatures of many prominent Hall of Famers, including Ruth, Cobb, Wagner, and Young. The lined side of the card (5x3") on the reverse has been crossed out in ink (so that the player had to sign on the unlined side). The card also displays a few light-to-moderate creases.
